You
are Invited to Review the Vision2010 Strategic
Plan Draft
We
invite you to review the Vision2010 strategic
plan draft. More than 300 faculty, students, staff,
alumni and community supporters participated in two rounds
of work sessions during October and November 2003. In
the sessions, participants joined together to review
a draft vision for CNU and a set of related university
priorities.
These valuable contributions will shape the future
of CNU leading to 2010.
We
need your input! Please
complete your online
response by
March 12. Your participation has been and continues to
be important to the success of Vision2010.
If
you have questions, please contact Linda
Gordon at
